Hello everyone! This is my very first fanfic and I should warn you, I'm not the world's best writer since writing is not my best subject. I'm more of an artist than a writer since it's so much easier for me to visualize things instead of just writing it down.
Moving on! I've been meaning to do the Care Bears fan fiction for two years but haven't gotten around to it nor had a confidence to do it since I'm really insecure of my writing skills. As you can see, I'm a Care Bears fan and I've enjoyed the series as well as the movies. This fanficiton is basically a sequel of the Care Bears Movie. I first saw the film in 1988 when I was four and after watching Nicholas and the Care Bears sealing the Evil Spirit back in her book. She was never seen in a full body nor had an actual name or why she's sealed in the book in the first place, nothing! Since then, I've always wondered where did she come from, why does she want to get rid of the caring, and so on. It's strange that they never give the villains a back-story of why they're doing such terrible things like the other shows do. I've given her a name (which I won't say it because I don't want to spoil the surprise and you'll see it in a few chapters) and her body (you'll see the drawing of her in my Deviantart account which is listed in my profile). Lastly, CBCH stands for Care Bears Crystal Hearts and this is a first part of the series based on Care Bears Movie, the title of this story that I'm currently writing is Sorceress's Revenge (I know, that title is so cliché). A quick note for all the Care Bear fans, this story is not canon; it's purely fan fiction.
Happy reading and enjoy!
Edit
I had to resubmit it because for some reason, the edited version is not showing up here, only I can see it changed but after it was saved, it remains the same as if it's never been edited. I know I went back and correct my mistakes thanks to my beta reader, Erzibeth-Malfoy and fixed it on my word doc just in case. Since the editing version decided to be a jerk to me, I have no choice but to delete the original and resubmit this one instead. I apologize for any inconvenience.
Prologue
It was dark and stormy night as rain poured down heavily on the Cherrywood Orphanage. Mrs. Kim Cherrywood was peering through the window, as she was anxious for her husband, Mr. Nicholas Cherrywood, for driving home from doing the errands. She felt better when she saw her husband's car lights approaching the driveway.
Mr. Cherry wood pulled up the driveway, grabbed the grocery bags from the front seat, and ran inside. His wife greeted him at the front door by giving him a kiss.
"I'm so glad you made it home, Nicholas," said Mrs. Cherrywood.
"Me too, Kim," Mr. Cherrywood said. "It started pouring on the way hone and it was pretty crazy out there. So, how are the kids?"
"They are in a rec room," she said as she took some of the groceries from him and walked to the kitchen.
Once they arrived in the kitchen, they unpacked the groceries and left some of them out for dinner. Mr. Cherrywood decided to head to the rec room to check on the kids. He entered the room and saw nine children playing. John, Zach, and Terrence were playing Super Smash Bros. Brawl on the Nintendo Wii, Edgar was reading Harry Potter on the couch, Felicia and Crystal were at the one end of the room having a tea party with dolls and stuffed animals, Jackie was drawing a picture, Mary was looking through a Martha Stewart magazine, and Amy was playing with a blocks. They all seemed to be pretty occupied with their own things until he cleared his throat as he entered the room. The cough caught the kids attention, causing them to stop what they're doing, and run to him with their arms stretched out to hug him.
"Mr. Cherrywood!" they yelled excitedly as they practically tackled the middle-aged man.
"Easy, fellas. Your going to break the old man's back."
"Sorry, Mr. Cherrywood," said the kids as they quickly got off of him.
"It's all right," said Cherrywood as he got up and dust himself off.
The kids went back what they were doing except Amy. The three year old just toddled toward to him with her arms stretched out since she couldn't hug him earlier due to the other kids. He smiled at her and picked her up so she could hug him.
"I missed you, Mr. Cherrywood," said Amy.
"And I missed you too, sweet pea," said Mr. Cherrywood as he give her a kiss on her cheek.
Just then, a loud thunderclap flashed brightly, causing everyone to jump and then the electricity went out, plunging the room to darkness. Amy began to cry because the lightning sound scared her and the darkness didn't help either. The kids groaned when the lights went out, especially the boys as they were in the middle of playing a video game. Mr. Cherrywood began to calm Amy down as he was still holding her. Soon Mrs. Cherrywood came into the room with a flashlight and a candle.
"You may want to light up some candles, honey," she said as she handed him some matches.
"Thanks, dear," he said.
He set Amy down on the floor and began lighting candles around the rec room. Once the room was lit, everyone relaxed, as the room was no longer in darkness. Amy stopped crying when the darkness no longer scared her.
"This is so spooky," said John.
"You said it, John," said Crystal.
"Mr. Cherrywood, how about you tell us a scary story?" Edgar asked.
"Yeah!" all the kids said in agreement.
"It's a perfect mood and atmosphere to do that," said Terrence.
"Yep!" said Zach. "You should tell us the story about ghosts that haunts the visitors!"
"No!" said Mary. "He should tell us an evil wizard that raises the dead and cause destruction on the world!"
"No, it should be zombies like Zombieland!" said John.
"It should be a giant, disgusting blood sucking worms!" said Crystal with a big grin on her face.
"Ewwwww" said Mary and Felicia as they scrunch their faces in disgust.
"Well…" said Mr. Cherrywood.
"Please?" said all the kids as they gave him puppy dog eyes.
"Alright," he said.
"Yay!" the kids cheered.
Amy toddled over to Mr. Cherrywood with her arms stretched out so he picked her up once again and walked over to an easy chair. He sat down and placed Amy on his lap like he usually does whenever he tells the kids stories.
"Story Hat! Story Hat!" Amy pointed out.
The 'Story Hat' is actually Mr. Cherrywood's old top hat he used for in his younger days when he was a magician and only used it whenever he tells the children stories. Since then, he never starts unless he wears his Story Hat.
"I'll get his hat!" said Terrence as he quickly ran out of the room with a flashlight in his hand. He came back with an old, worn out top hat and handed it over to his guardian.
"Here's your hat."
"Thank you, Terrence," said Mr. Cherrywood as he took it from him and placed it on top of his head. He lit the candle on the end table and readjusted Amy so she can face him properly.
"Mr. Cherrywood, before you start your story, I have something that I wanted to ask you," said Edgar.
"Sure, what is it you wanted to ask me?" asked Mr. Cherrywood.
"Two nights ago, you told us about the Care Bears saving the world from Evil Spirit book and was using Nicholas to do her bidding. They locked her back in the book again so she won't cause havoc to the world," said Edgar.
"Yes, all of you fell asleep on that part and I had to start on where I left off last night so you kids can remember the ending," said Mr. Cherrywood.
"Well," said Edgar. "I was curios of what happened to her and wouldn't someone else open up her book, causing it to start all over again?"
"As a matter of fact, it did happen again," Mr. Cherrywood said.
"Really? Could you tell us that story of her returning to the world again?" asked Edgar.
"Yeah!" said all the kids.
"Well, if that's what you kids wanted, then I'll tell you the story of the Evil Spirit coming back for revenge," he said.
Mr. Cherrywood turned his head to the kids as they sat in the floor, waiting impatiently for him to start the story.
"This story will be about the Care Bears and the return of the Evil Spirit. She came back for revenge not just the Care Bears but Nicholas as it turns out that she was after more than just getting revenge and rid all of the caring. Her goals were too much for Nicholas and the Care Bears to stop her so they had to get the Three Caring Goddesses for help. The Care Bears also learned that there's other Care Bears that they never learned about and couldn't determine whether they're allies or enemies.
This takes place a year after they locked the Evil Spirit away. It all began when Nicholas had a nightmare that she returned with a full body…
